Classification:
Kingdom: Animalia
Phylum: Arthropoda
Class: Copepoda
Order: Cyclopoida
Family: Corycaeidae
Description:
In the male of this species, several distinctive features are evident. The prosome is notably 1.5 times longer than the urosome, and the caudal rami are of equal length to the anal somite. A slight swelling can be observed on the sides of the second pedigerous somite, and the genital somite has a broad, oval shape. Some males may possess a small ventral hook, and the anal somite is roughly as long as it is wide. Caudal rami are four times as long as they are wide at the proximal end, and the points of the prosome extend to about 1/3 of the genital somite.In the female, the prosome is twice as long as the urosome. Unlike the males, the cephalosome is separate from the first pedigerous somite in females. The third pedigerous somite in females displays wing-like projections. The points of the prosome extend to less than the middle of the genital somite, and the caudal rami are just slightly shorter than the anal somite while being half as long as the genital somite. When viewed laterally, two groups of fine hairs can be observed on the genital somite. Unlike the males, females lack a ventral hook.
